THE CITIZEN, Prince George — Friday, July 21, 1978 — 3
Truckers' work time extended
   Independent truckers working for the Department of Highways will again work 10 hours a day — until highway funds run out.
   The truckers had been cut back to a working day of seven and one-half hours because the department did not have the money to pay for more. The about 90-100 owner-operators are employed in hauling materials to and from highway projects.
  Spokesman Dean Taylor said the shorter hours did not allow the men to make sufficient money.
   “Now we have agreed that we will work nine and one-half to 10 hours until the funds are gone. Then, however, we are free to look for other jobs," he said.
   The matter was solved in a meeting between the truckers, highways officials and Fort George MLA Howard Lloyd.
    VANCOUVER (CP) - The following are urged to contact the nearest detachment of the RCMP for an urgent personal message:
     Alfred Haglund of Victoria John Hillyer of Salmon Arm Allan Jones of 100-Mile . House
    Freddy Moyon of Prince George Edmond Nolby of Minneapolis, Minn.
     Robert J. Pangracs.of Calgary
     Gerry Walker of North Vancouver.
 Forest fires "mopped up'
     The Prince George forest district office reports no new fires in the past 24 hours.
      Fire protection officer Russ Tremaman said today there are 11 fires burning in the district with all being either under observation or in the “mop up” stage.
    But Tremaman says with lightning strikes overnight new fires are expected.
     The fire hazard is rated at high in most areas but extreme in the Williston Lake-Fort St. James area, the officer said.
 Third
  party
 needed'
   VANCOUVER (CP) - A spokesman for the provincial labor ministry said Wednesday that it is obvious that third-party intervention is necessary for a settlement in the brewing industry ‘ strike-Iockout.
     “We realize that,” said Peter Cameron, assistant deputy minister of labor for industrial relations. “All we have to do is convince the parties of interest that that is the path to follow.
     “We have been monitoring this dispute since its inception. We have made it clear to the parties for some time. . .that we are ready and available to provide our resources to them.” Cameron said that “at this point in time, I have 410 definite indication that it is possible to bring the parties together.”
     Both sides—the Canadian Union of United Brewery, Flour, Cereal, Soft Drink and Distillery Workers and the Brewery Employers Labor Relations Association—appear reluctant to request help from a third party.
      Eric Harris, chief negotiator for the employers, said the companies are not interested in third-party assistance at this point.
    Union spokesman John Langley said the union applied for mediation before some of its members were locked out at three breweries June 8, but has taken no further initiatives.
   Langley said he hoped predictions that the dispute, which started with a strike at Carling O’Keefe in Vancouver May 26, would last until Labor Day do not prove correct.
  “If they (the employers) were willing to sit aown and make any sort of reasonable offer, I’m sure we could work something out. But they don’t seem to want to meet.” Meanwhile, B.C. beer drinkers continue to buy limited supplies of imported beer at government liquor stores, pay duty on beer brought in from the United States and search for hotels selling B.C.’s newest, and at the moment only, beer.
   About 2,600 cases of beer produced by a Prince George brewery have been distributed to several hotels in the Vancouver area.

FORT ST. JAMES HOTEL
'Zoo' closure urged
   FORT ST. JAMES (Staff) -RCMP here have recommended a closure of the Fort Hotel.
   Sgt. Ed Raaflaub said a report asking for, “some kind of closure,” went from the RCMP detachment to the liquor licence inspector in Prince George as the result of an incident Saturday at the hotel.
   Sgt. Raaflaub said, “The report suggests to the liquor inspector that some kind of closure be instituted.”
   RCMP, on the authority of the liquor inspector, instituted a 24-hour cabaret closure Saturday after a brawl in which hotel owner Larry Whitely had a finger bitten off and his son received a broken nose and facial lacerations.
    Whitely had his finger sewn back on at Stuart Lake Hospital. Son Mark was taken to the same hospital and then transferred to Prince George Regional Hospital where he under-

 went surgery on his nose.
   There were about 200 people in the cabaret when fights broke out at 1:20 a.m. Saturday.
   Barton Schram, 22, was charged with obstructing a police officer and causing a disturbance by fighting. Murray Hill was charged with assault causing bodily harm and a charge of causing a disturbance by fighting was indicated against James Duncan.
    Sgt. Raaflaub said the report to the liquor inspector did not
J.
 recommend a certain length of closure.
   “It is entirely up to them,” he said.
   The recommendation was mentioned at a meeting between RCMP and the village council Wednesday and the council voiced no objection to the action.
   The Fort Hotel was closed down for two weeks in November, 1977, when the liquor inspector ruled there was “complete lack of control.”
    The hotel is called “the zoo’ by village residents.
Special constable sought
   FORT ST. JAMES (Staff) -RCMP here will expand its special constable program.
   Sgt. Ed Raaflaub of the Ft. St. James detachment said a second Native Indian constable was being added to the force under the special provisions for Indian constables.
   Under the program the successful applicant is sent to Regina for a nine-week training program.
   Fort St. James received its first special constable in October, 1977, and according to Sgt. Raaflaub, Cst. Dave Pauquette has worked out well.
   “We are looking for someone, preferably from the Tachie Reserve,” Sgt. Raaflaub said. “We have had four applicants.” The reserve is 60 km from Ft. St. James.
  The sergeant said the detachment had received permission to add the special constable. The selection will be made by November if the special constable training program goes ahead in January as scheduled in Regina.
 “This will give the applicant two months to work out of this office and become familiar with procedures.”
   He added, “The reason we
 asked for a second constable to work out of the Tachie Reserve is because of the four murders we had in 1977, three of them were on the reserve. There has been a history of violent crimes there. We instituted weekend patrols there and we think a special constable there will be a great help.”

Illegal salmon earns fine
    Albert Kouwen was fined $380 in provincial court here today for buying and possessing bootleg salmon from a native Indian.
    Kouwen was caught July 19 with 14 sockeye salmon which had been caught in fresh water. He was charged with buying the fish from a native Indian who had not caught the fish lawfully under a commercial licence, and with possession of sockeye salmon caught in fresh water.
    Kouwen pleaded guilty to both counts.
     A fish and wildlife spokesman said about 74 pounds of fish were confiscated in a routine check of Kouwen’s store, Bert’s Meat Market. The fish was found in his storage locker and had not been displayed for sale.
    The spokesman said it is easy to identify fish caught in fresh water rather than salt water and there is no legal way to sell fresh-water-caught salmon here.
   Another man has been charged with selling the fish and was to appear in provincial court later today.
